Leggie Tom O'Connell took 4/88 for the Tigers.

Highest total for the day was registered by St Kilda (5/378), with Ben Davies (133) and Josh Manning (137) enjoying the return to the Junction Oval. The pair shared a 249-run second wicket stand against Northcote. It was Manning's second Premier ton and Davies' first.
